“With pleasure.”


    I call Shane to the office and watch as Alpha Benjamin goes through it all again. This time, he hands the papers to Shane so he can follow along.


    “So we have them? We have the proof that they were all involved. Even Nancy.”


    “Yes. They’re all going away for a long time,” Benjamin says.


    “What about Caleb and Isiah?” Shane asks. “They’re obviously part of this.


    “They were being interviewed by Alpha James,” I remind him.


    At that moment, Alpha James walks in.


    “Speak of the devil and who should appear?” my mother says.


    “I’m not the devil but tell that to Caleb. I got him to sing like a canary,” he says, grinning wickedly


    “Is yours better than mine?” Benjamin asks, handing him the papers he printed.


    Alpha James quickly goes through them, then grins. “I didn’t break Isiah, but this certainly


    does.


    ‘Alpha, Isiah is trying to leave the packnds. I know he was being interviewed this morning. I wanted to make sure it is okay for him to leave,‘ one of my patrol leaders says in the mind link.


    ‘Detain him, take him into custody, and bring him back to the packhouse,‘ I say.


    I grin at Alpha James. “You must have scared him because Isiah was just caught trying to leave the packnds.


    “Ha! Then it’s a tie Benjamin!” he says.


    “Do you know when the vans areing to take them away?” my mother asks them.

    Benjamin looks at his watch. “I thought it was soon. Around lunch time, right James?”


    “That was my understanding.”


    “Let me go find Councilman Johnathon and you can let him know what’s going on,” I say.


    When I step out into the main living area, I find Councilman Johnathon looking around.


    “Councilman.”


    “Alpha Christian, I was just looking for you. Can we talk?” he asks.


    “Actually, Councilman, there’s been a break in the investigation. I believe that Alpha Benjamin and Alpha James need to speak with you.”


    <i>” </i>


    “Of course. I would like to speak with you before we leave.”


    “I will make myself avable whenever you need me,” I say.


    He looks at me a moment, then nods. I lead him to Shane’s office.


    When Alpha Benjamin goes through it with him, he sits back, whistling low.


    “Well, this confirms it. Alpha Christian, congrattions on finding these discrepancies and bringing them to the council’s attention.”


    “It was a group effort, Councilman. Shane has worked at my side the entire time and Enya has helped us as well. That doesn’t include the assistance that my family provided when they arrived,” I say.


    He gives me that same assessing look again.


    “Right, well, I believe our vans will be here any minute. I did see Councilwoman Zara while I was looking for you, Alpha Christian, and she agrees that Violet was not part of the betrayal of Alpha Colin and Luna Ciara. The money trail supports that assessment, so I would rmend that she remain in your pack and be released from her cell.”


    I nod. “I’ll speak to her before I release her. It might be safer to wait until the others are taken into custody at this point.”


    “Agreed. I’ll let the other council members know that our work here is done. We won’t be needing your hospitality again tonight. However, I would appreciate it if we could stay for lunch. Would that be eptable?”

    I look at Shane. I know he’s not happy with Councilman Johnathon right now and this is his pack.


    I watch Shane assess his decision as everyone in the room goes quiet.
